falling walls made it especially dan
perous for the fremen. II was soon
dircqyerea that the boys department
was in Immediate danger. SurerIn-
tcndent Fulton ordered all the boys to
be transferred TO the basement, both
from the rooms and the new part OF the
male division. The fire wss confined
to the building in which IL originated.
At 3 o'clock the fire had completely
Quilted the building and spent its fury.
One of the water-mains burst, thus shut
ting Off the supply when il was most
needed. The loss is estimated at 500, :
000 with no insurance. All that was
saved from the building was q number
of articles of clothing belonging to the
inmates. Great loss of life was mar
rowly ayerted. Steps will probably be
taken 70 rebuild at once.

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispatch.
LURAY, February 2, 1897.
Mr.. Abram Duncan, who lived in
Powell's fort, west of Luray, was
drowned. it is Thought, in crossing
Shenandoah river in a small boat on his
return home from Luray last week.
Not having reached his home by the
time he was expected, a search was in
stituted, and it was discovered that the
boat was not at the usual place and had
washed further down stream, which led
to the belief that he had been drowned.
Subsequent developments have served
to confirm this belief. The river has
been dragged in an effort to recover the
body, hut so far without success.
Candidates for the various county Of
fees to be filled at the approaching
spring election are becoming quite nu-
merous, and lively fight is expected.
just now the principal contest is be-
tween the aspirants for the several nom
nations to be made by the Republican
convention, which will doubtless beheld
at an early day.
It is said that the Shenandoah Valley
railroad will soon enlarge and increase
the capacity of their repair-shops To-
Gated at Mines, in this county. T.

POOie's Hole i'm Derbyshtre,
lPan-Mall Gaz9tte.l

Poole's Hole, Buxton, in which some
Roman remains have just been found,
is one of the greatest wonders OF the
Peak. It's praises were sung by Hobbies
in Latin hexameters, and by Cotton in
English iambics. The limestone for
nation which extends over "A great part
of Derbyshire is, of course, famous for
its caverns. But none Of these, not
even the Peak cavern at Castleton, with
its fabulous connection with the neither
world, possesses such a human
interest as Poole's Hole, which
takes its name from an outlaw who
made it his home in the reign OF
Henry ". The vaulted chambers OF
which the cavern consists are richly
decorated with stalaetites aud stalag-
mites, to which are given names CORE
spending with their real or fancied
shapes. Thus one is known as the
Fitch of Bacon, another as Poole's
Chair, third as the Font, and so on.
In the inner chambers these become
more and more grotesque. The Rhi-
noceros, the Beehives, and the Oyster
Beds are some Of the many names OF
the more curious formations. The
Queen-of-Scots Pillar, pendant
column of calcareous matter, usually
marks the limit Of the explora-
ton upon which visitors venture. But
the Hole extends by a steep incline to
another range of caves. It's doubtless
in one of these almost inaccessible re-
cesses that the alleged Roman remains
have been found. Although their ORR
gin may be doubtful their existence is
certainly curious fact. 1t will doubt
less puzzle Derbyshire antiquarians not
a little 10 account for the existence OF a
toga, a bronze bracelet, and piece OF
samian pottery in the heart of Poole's
Hole. But human remains were also
found. Can these mark the last resting
place OF q too-venturesome Roman
tourist?
